Photo of the Day (11-19-08)

Yes, this is an elephant balanced on its trunk. David and Chi who captured this image at the Musée and Domaine nationales of the Castle of Fontainebleau in France said this sculpture was part of a larger exhibit. What a wonderful use of a castle. The exhibit looks like it may have been like a trip to some strange wonderland.

Unfortunately, the exhibit ended on November 17. My question is, what happened to the elephant? Where does one store such a piece? It seems that this elephant belongs in the library.

If you've been to a fanciful wonderland lately, send us your pictures at Gadling's Flickr Photo Pool.

We think this was a real elephant. At least the exhibit pamphlet used a word similar to "taxidermy" in French.
